Bug Description

As I was logging in to my desktop today I noticed that the "samba guest user" appeared in the list of users to choose from.

The relevant line from my passwd file:

smbguest:x:1005:1004:Samba guest account:/dev/null:/dev/null

This shouldn't have been changed to the lightdm package as I was using gdm when I saw this.
